Part-time hours at $14 an hour
Fewer weekly hours scale the numbers straight down - each row is $14 x hours x 52 weeks, before tax.
| Hours a week | Per week | Per year (gross) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | $280 | $14,560 |
| 25 | $350 | $18,200 |
| 30 | $420 | $21,840 |
| 35 | $490 | $25,480 |
| 40full time | $560 | $29,120 |
If you take unpaid time off: with 2 unpaid weeks (50 paid weeks instead of 52), $14 an hour comes to $28,000 a year instead of $29,120.
Overtime at $14 an hour
For overtime-eligible jobs, hours past 40 in a week pay time and a half - 1.5x your rate, or $21.00 an hour at $14. A worked example: 5 overtime hours every week for a year is 260 OT hours, which pays $5,460 on top of your regular $29,120 - a gross total of $34,580.
Overtime is taxed like the rest of your pay - it can nudge your effective rate up slightly, but extra hours always leave you with more after tax.

The assumptions behind these numbers
- Full-time hours: 40 a week for all 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours a year, the standard payroll assumption.
- Taxes: single filer taking the standard deduction, 2026 federal income tax + Social Security + Medicare + state income tax. No 401(k)/HSA, credits, or local city taxes.
- Gross vs take-home: "gross" is pay before anything is withheld; "take-home" (net) is what actually lands in your account after those taxes.
- These are estimates, not tax advice. For your exact situation, use thetake-home pay calculator.
